Pokémon: Hoenen Rage

Chapter 49 The Whetstone (One more update)
There were no exciting battles or interlocking calculations. This bandit suppression mission was almost over from the beginning.

There are not many pirates on the island, only a dozen in total, and there are also many young children. After seeing the alliance ships docking, they neither attacked nor fled, but just stood on the beach. Watching quietly from a distance.

With such an approach, even Nachi, a pure martial artist, couldn't do anything, so she had to release a few Pokémon to fly in the air, both for surveillance and as a deterrent.

"A few of you across the way, may I ask who is in charge? Can we have a talk?"

Opposite, a man who looked to be in his thirties and looked very unkempt due to lack of care during his long time in the wild said hello loudly.

The three of them looked at each other, and Lai stepped forward, his right hand already hanging down on the way.

The man on the other side also walked a few steps closer and stopped about three to five meters away from Lai.

"I'm the person in charge this time. You can call me Lai. My mission is to bring you to justice. Now, what do you want to talk about?"

"I know your purpose of coming. We are not prepared to resist. We escaped just to avoid dying in the chaos. There are fifteen people here now, eight of them are children. They were all forcibly recruited by other pirate groups. Newcomer, we were saved by a few of us in the chaos. We pirates know that we cannot be spared lightly, but children are always innocent."

"Whether you are innocent or not is not your family's opinion. When we take you back to Wudou Town, someone will naturally investigate. This is not the scope of our work."

"Okay, even so, I hope you can help." The pirate's attitude was very low, and he was focused on finding a way out for his child.

After speaking, he called to the pirates behind him, piled his Poke Balls into a pile, and stepped forward with his hands behind his back. The coastal defense force conducted a routine inspection and escorted them aboard after confirming that no dangerous items were hidden.

A task that took the three of them a long time to prepare for, and which Lai felt was not an easy task, seemed to end in an anticlimactic manner.

However, Mr. Lai felt that there must be a monster when something went wrong.

It can be felt from their breathing, footsteps, and body shape that although these pirates have had a difficult time on the wild island, they are definitely not at the end of their rope and must surrender.Judging from the rewards and crimes, if these pirates are caught, they will be imprisoned for at least decades. It is unclear whether they will see the light of day again in their lifetime.So what made them surrender so decisively?

Just as he was thinking about it, Lai felt a sudden tug on the corner of his clothes. He turned around and saw that it was Naqi.She winked at Rai and returned to the boat first.

Lai Xin understood and quickly turned around to return. Hua Yue, who was confused, also quickly followed.

Returning to the patrol ship, Lai called Hanayue and told him to take the sailors and guards to lock up all the pirates alone, and then conduct the most stringent body searches. He also specifically ordered the key points of the inspection, especially nails, clothing layers, and hair. , shoe soles, and trouser edges, which are ignored by routine inspections.

Sure enough, under the leadership of Huayue, after some searching, it was discovered that these pirates were hiding behind them.They thought they were secretive, but they looked very clumsy in front of Rai, who had a consciousness that was decades ahead of the world. Not to mention the hidden wires and other small objects, there were even several shrunken Poké Balls, which clearly had evil intentions.

After some interrogation, someone confessed that this was because the leader knew the reason why the alliance was surrounding them but not suppressing them: to keep them as a whetstone for the new generation of the alliance.Unwilling to have to become a foothold again before going to prison or even being executed, they decided to take a risk and bet on the inexperience and negligence of young people. If they succeeded, they would still have the opportunity to rob a ship and slip through, taking advantage of the communication vacuum. "Drill through" the encirclement outside.

If the person leading the team was Kagetsu, or a trainer with Fujiki's personality, this plan might be somewhat certain, but unfortunately it was Rai and Naki who appeared in front of them.Even without Lai's accurate judgment, Naqi, who is rigorous by nature, has a high probability of seeing through this far-from-smart plan.Sitting in the captain's cabin, Huayue had already brought the pirate leader over.At this time, he no longer had the calmness, sincerity and sincerity he had at the beginning, and his expression turned ferocious. As soon as he came in, he cursed and cursed at Lai and Naqi in front of him, until Hua Yue hit him with a heavy punch. On his lower abdomen, he was beaten until he couldn't stand and fell to the ground.

"Are you willing to talk now? About the person who arranged for you to do this."

"Bah! Why are you pretending to be an alliance dog? If you want to kill me, I'll give you a good time!" He spit out a mouthful of blood on the ground, but the pirate said nothing.

Naqi, who was watching with cold eyes, spoke up: "I'm just a sea cockroach with a short life, and I have to pretend to be a tough guy. It doesn't matter. The coastal defense and law enforcement people like tough guys like you. Huayue, Captain You, please excuse me."

The team leader named You nodded in agreement and was about to take people to the temporary cells. In order to deal with the die-hard pirates in the eradication mission, these ships have special spaces.

Just when the pirate leader was about to be taken out and was struggling, Lai spoke: "Wait a minute, the gentleman in front of us doesn't look like a smart person, let alone a kind-hearted person, but Bones are not necessarily soft.

So, Captain Yu, if there is no result for the time being, you don't have to worry about it. Just wait until you get back to Wudou Town and find more professional people to help.Then, please take him down now, and invite another one over by the way, just the older kid. "

With a smile on his face, Len said the most cruel words in the eyes of the pirates in the gentlest tone.

"Are you an alliance or a pirate? You won't even spare your children?! What are you capable of? Come after me!"

"From the moment they hide weapons and jailbreak tools on their bodies, there is no identity difference between them and you. Of course I believe that these children can't do such a thing on their own, but that doesn't matter, no matter what kind of abilities they have You are the instigator of fate, Mr. Pirate."

"Okay, Mr. You, please excuse me."

The pirate leader wanted to curse again, but was already gagged and dragged out.

Seeing the two of them walking away, Huayue carefully closed the door and asked Lai: "Can you really cheat like this?"

"I can't say that. I can only scare him a little to see if I can break the psychological defense. You can't really do anything to a child, right?" Lai also stood up. The role of the villain he had just played was unexpectedly not very strenuous.

Naqi interjected: "There's nothing wrong with it. If those little pirates are willing to cooperate with them, they are no longer good people."

Lai waved his hand: "You can't say that, children have the last choice. Huayue, Naqi, you keep an eye on it here, and I'll go talk to the children separately."

Thinking of Huayue's appearance and Naqi's temperament, Lai sighed. In the end, he still had to complete the most troublesome work.
